Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

After roe, women are no longer free.

Republicans can’t even be trusted with their own money.

This blog will pay for itself.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

Let’s finish the job.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

In short, I come down firmly on all sides of the issue.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

Preview of 2022 Pets of Balloon Juice: Calendar A!

This post is in: Pet Calendar

Presenting the preview of Beth’s design for 2022 Pets of Balloon Juice Calendar A.

Please check the links in the sidebar to see which calendar and which month(s) your pets are in.

The preview is below!

Please check for your pets and make sure that all your pets are there, that the names are right, that we have the right name with the right pet, and that there’s a heart if there should be one, and no heart if there shouldn’t be one.

Right click on each image to open in a new tab, and then use Ctrl+ to enlarge so you can read everything.  Then close that tab and go back to the post.

YOU DEFINITELY WANT TO CHECK BEFORE YOU BUY, BECAUSE ONCE YOU HAVE PLACED THE ORDER, WE CAN’T FIX ANY ISSUES YOU FIND LATER.  Well, we can fix them even then, but then you’d have to buy another calendar in order to get the fixed version.

These are really low-resolution for posting on the blog, but the calendar itself is very high resolution.

Cover: Sweet Lily!

    Ha, you picked one of Xavier being patriotic. Looks great! Although – is a pic of pretty Lily hiding her face the best choice for the cover?

    @trollhattan:  Believe it or not, we have a Moo in January and April.  Which one?

    Guessing January?

    Hi Watergirl,

    Our three boys (Aristotle, Socrates, and Santos), look great, and are on the March page where you said they would be, but Santos should also have a heart, as he is sadly no longer with us.

    Thank you so much,

  9. 9.

    December 3, 2021 at 4:03 pm

    @Fair Economist: You don’t LOVE the cover?  Beth and I LOVE the cover with Lily.

    :-(

    What don’t you like?

    December 3, 2021 at 4:05 pm

    @Joseph S: Santos has a heart in the spreadsheet but not in the calendar.  Apologies.  Beth and I are both running on fumes at the moment.

    We will have one more check and hopefully we would have caught it then, but we figured we should get this up for everyone to preview.

    Is Dad Cole considered a pet now? I’ll bet he’s thrilled at the prospect.

  17. 17.

    WaterGirl

    December 3, 2021 at 4:19 pm

    @zhena gogolia: We don’t normally do that, but we made an exception this year when the cats clearly organized to GOTC (get out the cats) for the calendar and the dogs did not.

    Duby and a few others got extra shots.

  18. 18.

    WaterGirl

    December 3, 2021 at 4:20 pm

    @Gravenstone: Dad Cole is the other exception!

    We don’t allow humans in the pet calendar, other than a stray hand or leg or whatever that can’t be cropped out.

    But that’s Dad Cole with his beloved Ginny, who he lost this year, so of course we made an exception.

    @zhena gogolia:

    LOL. That extended name is a joke, of course, which I gave him after he got the extremely plebeian “Chip.” He is a big, goofy mutt, great with the kids and perfect for their hectic lifestyle. I caught him in a rare moment of repose.

    This is pretty minor, but in the picture of Isadore & Patrick in June, Patrick should have a heart also.

    looks lovely! I see another horse in the mix – all right, next year Ember’s photo goes in!

    “Roxy + Watson” should probably be “Watson + Roxy”. if we’re reading left to right. (They’re in August). Otherwise, all’s right by me!

    Again this year I will have to purchase an A and a B and give one as a present to a friend of almost 5 decades. The number of mutual friends grows smaller as the years pass but then that’s the way life is.

    All of my brood are present and correctly labeled and the calendar looks fantastic!  The process seemed much smoother as well this year, but maybe that’s because I learned some things.

    Thank you so much, both of you, for the incredible work you do every year on these calendars. I look forward to getting a new one every year and looking at it, and all the gorgeous pets, throughout the year.

    Happy Holidays!

    lots of hard work collecting, compiling and making a deadline, love the fluff beds being well used on both covers, and when I need a name for a new family member, I will check all these out, becasue the names are soooo creative…like Fantrelle Cluggins!
